Good Article Review

I'm having this go through a Good article review User:cowbellcity45

Hi cowbell. I think you were looking for Wikipedia:Good article candidates. At Good Article reviews we re-review old GA and disputed GAs to see if they still fit the criteria. To get an article granted GA status, you should go to the candidates page. I know the name is confusing, we're probably gonna change that soon. So in the meantime I hope you don't mind me taking the Weezer listing off the review page. Good luck though. Drewcifer 05:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Singles

I removed it because it is just a copied and pasted from the Weezer article. I also moved the information about My evaline and Mykel and Carli to the discography pages.

Rating

I've assessed the article as B as it contains an impressive array of references. It has a slightly stubby feel in places, and, as someone identified, lacks a reception section. For future reference, GAC is not the place to request a rating: it's the place for good article candidates. One of the easiest ways to request a rating is to blank the rating field in the project templates. Good luck with it. The JPS^{talk to me} 15:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixes needed: a couple of MOS problems. Album and magazine titles should be italicised. I'd merge the first two reception sections into one: usually best to avoid sections of only one paragraph. Consider, also, writing the most notable awards/accolades into prose. Good work, though. The JPS^{talk to me} 07:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA passed

An excellent all round article, I've passed it. Here are some suggestions on moving towards FA.

The lead could do with refs - it's optional, but I advise it.
IGN professional review should use the review template (rather then (9.0/10)).
[1] - Where's the review?
You don't really need a section on the band's history - save that for their article.
All URLs accessed on February 5, 2007 UTC - Add this to the accessdate parameter in {{cite web}} instead.
Album section - Put the refs over the numbers, it looks better.
I don't think you need charting for singles - save that for their articles.

Anyways, congrats on the GA! Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 07:35, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Automated peer review

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.^[?]
Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.^[?]
Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.^[?]
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.^[?]
As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]^[?]
Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 07:35, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

B side (Mykel and Carli)

The B sides information was removed. Has it been moved somewhere I'm not finding? I feel this is important information.B sides 14:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Allmusic review

"The album was well received by critics on its release,[27] Allmusic gave the album 5 stars explaining..." The allmusic review was written in retrospect, not at the album release, so it doesn't belong in the initial reception section. Rm999 (talk) 03:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
